Book excerpt: How amateur programmers in 1980s Czechoslovakia discovered games as a medium, using them not only for entertainment but also as a means of self-expression. Aside from the exceptional history of Tetris, very little is known about gaming culture behind the Iron Curtain. But despite the scarcity of home computers and the absence of hardware and software markets, Czechoslovakia hosted a remarkably active DIY microcomputer scene in the 1980s, producing more than two hundred games that were by turns creative, inventive, and politically subversive. In Gaming the Iron Curtain, Jaroslav Švelch offers the first social history of gaming and game design in 1980s Czechoslovakia, and the first book-length treatment of computer gaming in any country of the Soviet bloc. Švelch describes how amateur programmers in 1980s Czechoslovakia discovered games as a medium, using them not only for entertainment but also as a means of self-expression. Sheltered in state-supported computer clubs, local programmers fashioned games into a medium of expression that, unlike television or the press, was neither regulated nor censored. In the final years of Communist rule, Czechoslovak programmers were among the first in the world to make activist games about current political events, anticipating trends observed decades later in independent or experimental titles. Drawing from extensive interviews as well as political, economic, and social history, Gaming the Iron Curtain tells a compelling tale of gaming the system, introducing us to individuals who used their ingenuity to be active, be creative, and be heard.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The earliest fantasy campaigns grew directly out of wargames. There was a point in the development of the first commercial role-playing game when the rules shed most of their wargame roots and assumed a form familiar to generations of players to come. Iron Falcon aims to be that game, reproducing its mechanics and style in all its raw and innovative glory, as it was before the advent of more "advanced" rules.
Book Synopsis The Temple of Perfection by : Eric Chaline
Download or read book The Temple of Perfection written by Eric Chaline and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2015-04-15 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These days there is only one right answer when someone asks you what you are doing after work. Hitting the gym! With an explosion of apps, clothing, devices, and countless DVDs, fitness has never felt more modern, and the gym is its holy laboratory, alive with machinery, sweat, and dance music. But we are far from the first to pursue bodily perfection—the gymnasium dates back 2,800 years, to the very beginnings of Western civilization. In The Temple of Perfection, Eric Chaline offers the first proper consideration of the gym’s complex, layered history and the influence it has had on the development of Western individualism, society, education, and politics. As Chaline shows, how we take care of our bodies has long been based on a complex mix of spiritual beliefs, moral discipline, and aesthetic ideals that are all entangled with political, social, and sexual power. Today, training in a gym is seen primarily as part of the pursuit of individual fulfillment. As he shows, however, the gym has always had a secondary role in creating men and women who are “fit for purpose”—a notion that has meant a lot of different things throughout history. Chaline surveys the gym’s many incarnations and the ways the individual, the nation-state, the media, and the corporate world have intersected in its steamy confines, sometimes with unintended consequences. He shows that the gym is far more than a factory for superficiality and self-obsession—it is one of the principle battlefields of humanity’s social, sexual, and cultural wars. Exploring the gym’s history from a multitude of perspectives, Chaline concludes by looking toward its future as it struggles to redefine itself in a world in thrall to quick fixes—such as plastic surgery and pharmaceuticals—meant to attain the gym’s ultimate promises: physical fitness and beauty.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “In IRON NATION, Bob Whelan and Drew Israel have compiled a masterpiece text on some of the most intriguing and compelling personal stories, iron game history, and gut-wrenching training routines ever put to paper. If you truly love “hard training” without all of the frills or “pomp and circumstance” so common today, you will love IRON NATION!” --Ken Mannie, Head Strength/Conditioning Coach, Michigan State University *** "Iron Nation is one of the most educational Iron Game books ever written. Fantastic!" --Dick Conner, Powerlifting Coach, (Multiple National Champion), Strength Expert *** "Iron Nation is a fascinating and unique book that will give anyone interested in no-nonsense strength training and muscle-building many hours of enjoyable reading -- and many years of great workouts." --Brooks D. Kubik, Author of Dinosaur Training *** “IRON NATION is an excellent source of information relating to many of the top people in the fitness industry who have given thousands of hours of time and energy into making the iron game what it is today. The contributors have shared what was required ... to obtain their most positive results. My hat goes off to Bob Whelan and Drew Israel for putting this material in an easy-to-read format that is a MUST to those wanting to improve their mental or physical wellbeing.” --Bill Pearl, Former Mr. America and Mr. Universe *** "The book Iron Nation represents a tremendous singular achievement for the authors. It is an impressive and unprecedented collection of training biographies, autobiographies and anecdotes from the ENTIRE realm of progressive resistance exercise training. Such a work is long overdue." --Jan Dellinger, Author of The Dellinger Files *** "As I get older, my respect grows for the history of the Iron Game and those who were part of it. Iron Nation: Passion for Hard Training reads like a Who's Who of individuals who are an integral part of that history. Their stories are extremely informative and - as the title suggests - passionate as well as motivating and entertaining. I highly recommend this book!" --Matt Brzycki, Assistant Director of Campus Recreation & Fitness, Princeton University *** "Many congratulations to you [Bob] and Drew for getting IRON NATION done. I was thrilled that you carried through on that project--and did it so well! This is an outstanding book of training information, inspiration and motivation. The passion for hard training that oozes from many of the articles is infectious, and the accompanying real-life stories and historical reminiscences are fascinating." --Stuart McRobert, Author of Brawn and Numerous Other Iron Game Books, Publisher/Editor of Hardgainer Magazine *** "As what might be considered a kind of 'elder statesman' of the Iron Game (I have been in it and writing about it since the 1960's) I have been both appalled and delighted by that which I have seen transpire in the muscle and strength-building field over the decades. The size-mania, living in the gym, cosmetic-oriented 'appearance training', and of course the damn steroid drug scourge, has appalled me. The work of men like Bob Whelan and Drew Israel, and the occasional literary gems that evolve as a result of the work of these men — such as this new book, IRON NATION, has delighted me. There are few activities as rewarding — mentally, physically, and spiritually — as sensible progressive resistance (barbell/dumbell and similar types of) exercise. And we who love this activity and who wish to see it continue to enrich those seekers-after-personal-strength-and-excellence always celebrate a quality literary contribution to our beloved field. We recommend it highly.”--Bradley J. Steiner, World Famous Weight Training & Martial Arts Writer *** Visit our website and see our many books at PhysicalCultureBooks.com

Download or read book The Iron Path written by Conor O'Flynn and published by . This book was released on 2019-08-02 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When you lift the barbell, you set foot on the Iron Path. Setting foot on the Iron Path means opening yourself up. It means knowing what the barbell is and what the barbell can do for you. It means knowing who and what you are, and knowing what you'd like to become.The Iron Path is the path we all walk as we use the crucible of iron to build the body, mind, and life we've envisioned for ourselves. We know this path requires our focus, dedication and effort. We know that moving along this path requires encountering resistance, and pushing back. What we may not know when we first set out is just how much of this journey takes place in the mind. We lift our physical weights, using our physical body, in the physical world. The reasons we lift, our passions, motivations, faults, desires, strengths and weaknesses all come from the mind. The way we think about our training is just as important as the training itself...you can't have one without the other.Many trainees train hard for years without seeing the results they so desperately want to see. They know there's a problem with their process, but they don't know how to fix it. They don't even know where to look to find the problem. The Iron Path is a book of barbell philosophy. It's a guide to the Iron Path itself. The lessons, thoughts and exercises in the book come from years in the trenches, under the bar. These lessons have been earned the hard way, through countless hours of hard labour and an equal number of hours devoted to reflection and contemplation. Without considering the lessons in the book, it's possible to spend a lifetime spinning your wheels and getting nowhere. The book lays out a series of lessons, each describing a specific obstacle along the Iron Path. Each lesson will ask you to think about your training, your vision, and yourself. Through the lessons and the exercises, you can refine your mindset. You can learn to put in the work necessary to get where you need to go. The body may lift the bar, but the mind lifts the body. Get your head in the game. Walk the Iron Path.
